I get the anger about sidewalks getting littered with scooters, but damaging or destroying them is just creating more hazardous e-waste to be disposed of.

There needs to be a more sustainable model for scooter rentals than "when the scooter breaks, we just throw it out and replace it with another $20 white label scooter from China"

The reason they're treated like trash, by both the company that put them there and by pedestrians, is because that is what they are.

Tell that to the homeless guy in SF who made it his life mission to push scooters into the bay. They even had to make a line item just for him.

I'm not really angry. I consider it a public service for the people who come along after me. These things are a hazard for runners.

Where do you live? Maybe I can put them in front of your house.
